5 Novel Ideas for a Delightful Second DateBy Jeff CohenSpecial to Yahoo! PersonalsUpdated: Aug 12, 2008
Making it past the first date is always an important milestone. But what do you do now to keep the momentum going? Here are five novel ideas for a second date to ensure you make it to date #3 and beyond.
Idea 1 - Miniature Golf: Mini-golf is a sports activity, but it really doesn't require tremendous dexterity to have some fun. You can make friendly wagers on the score, award a harmless kiss for any holes in one, and maybe even share a romantic moment when you putt together.
Idea 2 - Pottery Class: Maybe this idea works because it brings back memories of that scene in "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Building something simple together like a cup or vase immediately creates an artifact from your date, like a first tangible memory together.
Idea 3 - Ice Skating or Roller Skating: Here's

an activity that naturally lends itself to holding hands, especially if one of you is less than a natural on the rink. Take it slow, no triple axels please, and do lap after lap until you're ready for a hot chocolate to wind down.
Idea 4 - A Tour of Your City: Just because you've lived in your town for several years doesn't mean you know everything about where you live.
